Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me

Chu Mengyao's eyes widened in indignation, her mind racing with the thought that this bastard wouldn't take advantage of her weakness again, would he?

"You touched every part of my body last night, so why do you have to bully me at a time like this?

Shameless!

She intended to curse at Lu Chuan a few times, but then she thought this was the perfect opportunity to test the guy.

"If this guy is really that horny, even if I don't fulfill the marriage agreement, Grandpa should be able to understand, right? Let him take advantage once more, and after this, I'll definitely sever all ties with him."

Thinking so, Chu Mengyao whispered softly, "Then... then you do it."

Seeing that Chu Mengyao had no objections, Lu Chuan turned to look around the office, then lifted her up and laid her flat on the office desk.

"Miss Chu, pardon me."

He placed his hand inside, pressing it against Chu Mengyao's smooth, soft skin.

Afterward, he began to mobilize the power within his dantian, transferring it onto Chu Mengyao's body.

The power inside Lu Chuan's dantian was the spiritual power unique to Cultivators, possessed only by those who embarked on the path of cultivation.

Even though Lu Chuan had not yet formally begun cultivation, he had this overwhelming power in his dantian since last night, and he himself didn't understand why.

Lying shamefacedly on the office desk, Chu Mengyao trembled involuntarily at the touch of Lu Chuan's hand.

She thought to herself that this was good; despite her loss, she wouldn't have any psychological burden when rejecting him.

The next second, she felt a warm current within her body that began to disperse the chill inside her, an incredibly comfortable sensation that made her inadvertently moan softly.

Incredulous, she looked at Lu Chuan, never having expected that he was really treating her illness, rather than taking advantage of her.

"Could it be that I misjudged him?"

Immersed in an unprecedented feeling of comfort, her entire body relaxed completely.

Half an hour later.

Lu Chuan withdrew his hand, wiping the sweat from his forehead, and asked, "Do you still feel uncomfortable?"

Chu Mengyao's face was flushed as though she was overly comfortable, still lost in that sensation until Lu Chuan's words brought her back to her senses. She hurriedly got down from the table and said, "I'm... I'm fine now."

She looked at Lu Chuan with considerable gratitude and said, "Thank you."

Lu Chuan said somewhat guiltily, "The chill in your body is exceptionally stubborn; I've only managed to suppress it temporarily and haven't eradicated it. To completely cure you, it will take about four to six more treatments."

Chu Mengyao nodded and said, "This effect is already incredible. Before, I had to endure twelve hours as the chill inside me receded, and the medication prescribed by the doctors basically didn't work."

Something seemed to occur to Lu Chuan as he said, "Actually… there's another way that can eradicate the chill in your body in one go."

Chu Mengyao's eyes lit up, asking, "What way?"

She was beginning to understand why Grandpa wanted Lu Chuan to be her fiancé. Although his background was nothing special, even a bit unfortunate, the abilities he had shown were indeed surprising.

Her chill had been treated by many world-renowned doctors to no avail, yet Lu Chuan only needed to place his hand on her abdomen to successfully resolve the chills. Just this alone was enough to show his extraordinary nature.

"Maybe what I see is just the surface; this Lu Chuan could be a man of great talent," Chu Mengyao mused to herself.

At this moment, Lu Chuan, obviously somewhat embarrassed, revealed the method: "I have a special constitution that can suppress the chill in your body. If you sleep with me again, you should be able to completely clear them out."

Chu Mengyao's expression froze, and then she took two steps back, raised her hand, and slapped him across the face.

Smack!

"Bastard! You're shameless! You're despicable!" Chu Mengyao glared at Lu Chuan with clenched teeth, and the slight favor she had just begun to feel for him vanished in an instant.

How could such a lecherous man have great talent? I must be out of my mind to have such thoughts!

Lu Chuan, covering his face and looking utterly embarrassed, said, "I'm telling the truth, what are you hitting me for?"

Chu Mengyao bit her lip, gave Lu Chuan a sidelong glance, and recalling that he had just cured her chill, refrained from blowing up further.

With a dark expression, she walked over to her desk, gathered a few items, and strode toward the office's exit, saying coldly as she left, "Follow me."

Lu Chuan followed.

Chu Mengyao drove Lu Chuan towards the city center.

On the road, Chu Mengyao remembered that her chill had acted up the night before, but after Lu Chuan had bullied her, that sensation of chilling invasion truly disappeared. When she got up in the morning, she felt like nothing was wrong, completely free from the previous weakness.

This time when her chill flared up again, it was markedly less severe, not as intense as before.

This made her suspect that what Lu Chuan said might be true.

"Even if it's true, I can't let this bastard succeed again. What good can come from someone who frequents those sleazy massage parlors?" Chu Mengyao was covertly scornful.

Before long, the two arrived at a high-end community called Gold Lake Shore.

Chu Mengyao led Lu Chuan into one of the houses.

Lu Chuan, looking around the spacious and exquisite house, asked, "Miss Chu, what are you bringing me here for?"

Chu Mengyao handed the keys to Lu Chuan, "From now on, you'll live here."

She then handed Lu Chuan a bank card, "There's a hundred thousand in this card, enough for you to spend for a while."

Lu Chuan's face was full of surprise, "Miss Chu, you are too kind."

Chu Mengyao said, "Take this as your payment for treating my cold disease. You've just been dumped, you must have nowhere to live, right?"

Lu Chuan gave a bitter smile. "Since that's the case, I won't stand on ceremony. When I am better off in the future, I will definitely repay Miss Chu."

After he finished speaking, he took the keys and the bank card.

Chu Mengyao, however, looked at Lu Chuan with a solemn face and said, "I've given you the house and you don't need to return the money. Plus, since you took my first time, I don't owe you anything. Our engagement is hereby void, and we shall not see each other again in the future."

After saying that, she turned to leave.

Lu Chuan grabbed Chu Mengyao's wrist and said, "I told you, I want to take responsibility for you."

Chu Mengyao looked at Lu Chuan with a complex expression, "You can't afford to provoke Long Hao, and behaving like this will only cost you your life. Let's put an end to our business, stop being stubborn."

Lu Chuan enunciated each word, "I! Want! To! Take! Responsibility! For! You!"

"I stand by my words!"

Chu Mengyao let out a helpless sigh, stared at Lu Chuan for a few seconds, then wrenched her hand free and left.

Lu Chuan smiled and walked over to the sofa, where he sat down.

He wasn't naive enough to think that just because there was an engagement with Chu Mengyao, she would be devoted to him, but since he had taken her first time, he felt it was his duty to compensate this woman in some ways.

Even if Chu Mengyao did not end up with him, he would not allow Long Hao to bully her.

"Helping Chu Mengyao means going against Long Hao and his father, Long Tianya. I must make myself stronger, otherwise I'm just a lamb to the slaughter."

"Chu Mengyao, I will make you see me in a new light!"

With this thought in mind, Lu Chuan sat cross-legged and following the method of cultivation from the legacy, he began breathing exercises and his spiritual energy entered his body, converging at his Dantian and solidifying into his own strength.

The spiritual energy in the Gold Lake Neighborhood District rapidly congregated towards Lu Chuan's house.

Like a whale consuming a feast, he absorbed it voraciously.

The cultivation continued until the evening.

Lu Chuan opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air. After standing up, his posture became more upright, and his whole person's aura had risen by several notches.

He threw a punch.

Bang!

A sound like a sonic boom surprisingly emanated in the living room.

If this punch were to hit a wall, it would likely pierce right through it.

Feeling the surging power inside him, Lu Chuan's face lit up with excitement as he muttered to himself, "I had no idea my strength could reach such a terrifying level. If I encounter that bastard Liu Kun again, I could send him flying with a single punch!"

At that moment, a whirlwind of spiritual power formed within his Dantian, signifying his step onto the path of cultivation.

And he had achieved the realm of Qi Cultivation Level 1 in just one day.

The stages of a cultivator's realm are divided into Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul...

Qi Cultivation has nine levels and is the stage where cultivators lay their foundation.

Generally speaking, the phase from nonexistence to existence is the most difficult, hence stepping into Qi Cultivation Level 1 is a hurdle. Seventy percent of those who aspire to follow the path of cultivation are stuck at this stage.

Yet Lu Chuan crossed this hurdle in just one day.

Such a speed of cultivation, even within the Immortal Cultivation World, is an exceedingly rare phenomenon.

"My rapid progress in cultivation is likely connected to the affairs between men and women last night. Grandfather said my dragon's yang power is strong, and if I practiced dual cultivation, my progress would be even more terrifying," he thought.

Lu Chuan became noticeably more confident than before.

"If anyone dares to shame or insult me in the future, I will definitely make them beg for mercy with a single punch!"

He stretched his muscles, took a shower, and was about to go eat when he received a call from his sister-in-law, Mu Nanqing.

"Xiaochuan, come and save me, Qin Lan has secretly hidden a man at home. This guy wants to assault me and has even started to beat me..."

"F**k it, what's the use of calling that loser? If he comes, will I stop hitting you? Get on your knees for me right now!" Liu Kun's voice came on the line.

Then the call was disconnected.

Beep... Beep... Beep...

Hearing the call end, Lu Chuan's eyes blazed with fury, and a raging fire erupted in his chest. He then dashed downstairs and took a cab to the neighborhood district where Qin Lan lived.

After his parents and grandfather disappeared when he was seven, it was an older brother from the orphanage who took care of him. Perhaps as a reward for being a good person, although this brother was not well-off, he married the exceptionally beautiful Mu Nanqing.

At that time, Lu Chuan thought his sister-in-law was the most beautiful woman in the whole world, with a sultry face and a curvaceous figure, coupled with the allure specific to mature women, which always made his heart race when speaking with her.

Mu Nanqing did not distance herself from Lu Chuan because he and his older brother met in the orphanage. Instead, she treated him like a real younger brother.

Without their support over the years, Lu Chuan would have probably starved to death on the streets long ago.

A few years ago, his older brother died of an illness, but Mu Nanqing did not cut off contact with Lu Chuan and often brought him food. Moreover, whatever trouble Lu Chuan ran into, she would always be the first to come and help.

Though not a blood relative, this sister-in-law was more than family to him. Now that he heard Mu Nanqing was being beaten by Liu Kun, all he wanted was to strangle that bastard!

"Liu Kun, you bully me and now you're bullying my sister-in-law. If I don't make you kneel down and beg for mercy this time, then my last name isn't Lu!"
